 The Spitfire F Mk 24's main combat tactic is Boom & Zooming due to its outstanding speed, armament, and engine output. Because of the last point, Energy fighting is an option open to the Mk 24 as well, when engaging an enemy separated from his team. The Rolls-Royce Griffon engine is what opens the Spitfire F Mk 24 to both of these tactics. Not only does the Griffon engine bestow the Mk 24 with incredible top speed, but it also causes the fighter to accelerate incredibly fast allowing it to keep its speed for longer even in a sharp climb.
-Although boom-and-zooming and energy fighting are the main tactics of the Spitfire F Mk 24, the fighter is also able to keep up with most enemies in-turn fights with few exceptions (namely Japanese fighters). Try to maintain a speed of between 400-500 km/h; this is where the plane maintains a high turn rate. Turning below this velocity against planes such as the [[P-51H-5-NA]] is not recommended. The Mk 24 should avoid combat at low altitude especially versus Soviet fighters who excel below 4 km. The Mk 24's strength is at high altitude combat, where it can fully utilize the power of its Griffon engine to exceed in combat.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the last production model of the famous Supermarine Spitfire. A total of 54 Mk 24 were manufactured, with 27 rebuilt from [[Spitfire F Mk 22|Mk 22]] models. The Mk 24 was largely similar to the previous Mk 22, with the exception of having two rear fuselage fuel tanks installed as well as different rocket mountings allowing for installation of up to eight RP-3 rockets as opposed to six on the Mk 22. The main armament also differed, as some of the late production Mk 24 were armed with four 20 mm Hispano Mk.V cannons as opposed to Mk.II on the Spitfire Mk 22, or early and reserve variants of the Mk 24. The in game model is a recreation of VN318 which was armed with the Mk.II cannons.

 The Spitfire F Mk 24 was introduced in [[Update 1.39]]. It is the pinnacle of piston-powered aircraft, one of the first superprops. The playstyle of Mk 24 is very similar to the previous Griffon-powered Spitfires, with the exception of different armament as the Mk 24 is armed with four 20 mm Hispano cannons. Early jet aircraft that pilots may come across are at a severe disadvantage when encountering the Spitfire, as it can out-turn and also catch the majority of these in a dive. The Mk 24 also possesses higher engine power due to the usage of 150 octane fuel, which is unavailable for the previous Mk 22.

+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was a British WWII period fighter,the last production model of the famous Supermarine Spitfire. A total of 54 Mk 24 were manufactured, with 27 rebuilt from Mk 22. The Mk 24 was vastly similar to the previous Mk 22, with the exception of having two rear fuselage fuel tanks installed aswell as different rocket mountings allowing for installation of up to eight RP-3 rockets as opposed to six at Mk 22. The main armament also differed, as the Mk 24 was armed with four 20 mm Hispano Mk. V cannons as opposed to Mk. II at Spitfire Mk 22.
-The Spitfire F Mk 24's Rolls-Royce Griffon engine is the fighter's greatest asset, but it is still very agile at medium speeds of around 400-500 km/h. When the Mk 24 cannot make use of its Griffon engine it is highly vulnerable, so pilots should take care to avoid situations where speed and acceleration is a non-factor in victory.
